Go one size up

I am 5'7", 190lb, 36D i typically wear a size L or 12. I read reviews that said the top is very tight so I went with a 14 and it fits a touch snug in the very top still (just a lot of cleavage - but still wearable) and very average for a 14 in the waist (comfortable, not snug). True full length maxi...

The tiniest corset

I wear a Petite 4 or BR Small (5'2", 117 lbs, 34C), but this size 4 didn't work for my frame. The skirt is cool. It has plenty of volume and weight, though the fabric is heavier than expected and may be too warm for summer. The corset top, though, is tiny - I couldn't get the zipper past my waist. S...

Tall options

Beautiful dress, however it is disappointing that the company has chosen to eliminate dresses in true tall size. Hopefully they will realize that tall options are essential for those 511 and over, I am 6 feet tall and need the dresses to come in tall not Maxi size in regular length.

So many compliments

Comments about Soft Cotton Corset Maxi Dress

As others have stated, the top of this dress is very small. The only other Banana Republic Petite item that I have is a pair of jeans that I bought in size 28P. According to the Petite size chart for this dress, a 28in waist corresponds to a size 6P. I could not zip up the 6P. Returned and bought the 8P. It zips up, but it's quite tight and hard to breathe. Returned and bought the 10P, and it's finally comfortable and fits well enough to keep. The petite length hits my ankles, which is perfect.

Comments about Soft Cotton Corset Maxi Dress

The dress is beautiful. It fits really tight in the bust. The cut is very flattering. The dress is worth the money.

Gorgeous dressed up or down

The black dress is what I like to call simple chic. The fabric elevates it enough to be able to dress it up for a nice event. I am 5'4, 135 lbs, 34b, 28 waist and normally wear a 4 in BR. I ordered a size 6P and the only thing "con" is that the dress isn't as long on me as it is on the model in the black dress. Not a dealbreaker, will be keeping.

Well made

Comments about Soft Cotton Corset Maxi Dress

Only four stars because I was hoping it would be floor length. However It goes to just about my ankles. I'm 5'8. Otherwise fits like a glove no complaints. Quality is 10/10. Will be perfect for summer and my Europe trip.

Good

Comments about Soft Cotton Corset Maxi Dress

I definitely agree with the other reviews to size up for the chest area. I went 1 size up my usual size and it was still very snug. I ended up returning because the quality was not worth the price in my opinion, and I even got it on sale! The line between the top and the skirt also makes it seem more casual and less dressy.

A stunner! The corset is the perfect cut and super flattering; the voluminous bottom is utterly fun and feminine! A sexy yet demure dress; a modem classic! Summer perfection!

Comments about Soft Cotton Corset Maxi Dress

This dress is gorgeous! I had waited for a long time for my size to restock in this pink floral pattern and, boy, did it not disappoint. I don't like flimsy type of summer dresses and this one is perfectly structured. You can wear a strapless bra underneath. The straps are adjustable. The length on me is like how it's pictured on the model. Plus, it has pockets! For reference, I'm 5'8, 36B and bought a size 10.
